DISCUSSIoN TIPS • DEMENSTRATE GOOD COMMUNICATION: many students may have family or loved ones

who use tobacco. For this reason, students may experience conflict fear and / or embarrassment. Encourage students to separate their feelings about tobacco use (which is harmful) and how they feel about the person (who is addicted to nicotine). Remind students many adults use tobacco because it is addictive and difficult to quit, not because they want to cause harm. Encourage students to be empathetic with loved ones when talking about tobacco use. Shame, blame, and conflict may hinder opportunities for open communication.

• IDENTIFY AND SOLVE COMPLEX PROBLEMS: When talking about the fatal effects avoid telling students smoking will kill you, scare tactics are not effective and may cause unnecessary anxiety. Help students consider the negative consequences of tobacco use, encourage students to identify healthy alternatives to tobacco use and to defend their choice. The next two lessons address informed decision making strategies.

• THINK CRITICALLY and MANAGE INFORMATION: the videos are 3D animations and very detailed so it is not essential students understand all the information. Encourage students to think about their body and how they can make healthy decisions (take personal responsibility) to protect themselves and evaluate reasons behind thoughts and actions from a physical, physiological and social perspective.

Nicotine is a type of drug that stimulates the heart muscle to pump harder and faster (increases the pulse) even when the person is not exercising.

The healthy way to stimulate the heart muscle is to exercise, this will increase your pulse and provide healthy exercise for your heart and body.

Regular exercise is one way to prevent a heart attack.
